Fans can help take that donation over $1M using
#HatsOff4Heroes, and the Un-carrier will deliver fan perks
throughout MLB All-Star Week with chances to win tickets to the
Home Run Derby, free custom hats and more.
The Un-carrier’s going to bat for baseball fans and our nation’s
military – again! As the official wireless provider of Major League
Baseball, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) is taking #HatsOff4Heroes to the
next level at this year’s Home Run Derby. The Un-carrier will
donate $5k per home run and $10k per home run off a magenta ball to
Team Rubicon, a veteran-led disaster response organization.
Fans score big too during All-Star Week, July 13–17, with a Home
Run Derby bracket challenge, free custom hats, behind the scenes
access, and chances to meet MLB players and win tickets to the
Derby.
“Last year’s T-Mobile Home Run Derby was the most watched in the
last decade and the most streamed MLB ESPN event EVER. This year,
we’re going all-in with #HatsOff4Heroes in support of our nation’s
military and veterans at the Derby,” said John Legere, T-Mobile
president and CEO. “And at the Un-carrier, we take ‘we won’t stop’
seriously – we’re dialing it up this year with an Armed Services
Classic, free custom hats for fans, Derby ticket giveaways and more
-- we’re gonna make All-Star Week one for the record books!”
#HatsOff4Heroes at the 2018 T-Mobile Home Run DerbyT-Mobile has
been expanding its extensive military support all year, first
launching T-Mobile ONE Military and its companywide military
initiative. Then, earlier this year, T-Mobile launched a campaign
pledging to donate at least $1 million to Team Rubicon, starting
with $1 per every #HatsOff4Heroes tweet and Instagram post through
the regular MLB season. Leading up to and throughout the T-Mobile
Home Run Derby, the Un-carrier is taking its military support to
new levels:
- #HatsOff4Heroes. During the
T-Mobile Home Run Derby, the Un-carrier will donate $5k for every
home run and $10k every time players hit a magenta ball outta the
park during bonus time! Fans can participate by posting their
#HatsOff4Heroes support messages on Twitter and Instagram – each
post is worth $1, so start hashtaggin’ to help drive the donation
total over one million!
- All-Star Armed Services Classic,
Presented by T-Mobile. Following the championship game of the
inaugural Armed Services Classic tournament on July 13, one
representative from each of the five military branches will compete
in a home run contest held at Nationals Park. The Un-carrier will
donate another $300k total ($50k to a charity supporting each
military branch) to mark the event, and the two home run contest
finalists will get the chance to hit alongside the pros at the
T-Mobile Home Run Derby on July 16 – with the winner getting an
additional $50k donated to their branch’s respective cause.
